Yeah it would have been extreme if the 800mhz mini-itx pc would have let me install it :)

Didn't need to in the end, as the Mammoth Captian would ( worryingly ) say ... "everythings fine" blah blah ...

It's working now, even with EMP but i still need to edit bulk.beam.show to stop it checking ship class so i'll try the latest version.

Just so you dont have to buy one? Or is it not displaying when you've bought one and have it on your ship?

Do you have a transporter device and ALSO the bulk transporter upgrade installed?

Also do you have enough money and what variables are you entering into it? you need to enter "b" for buy and the amount you want. Do you have enough cargo space?

al_main, I just tried this script for the first time, it works great. But, (:)), I think an elaboration of it would be even better.


Since there's no proper HA/warehouse in X3, I thought it'd be handy to have a TL whose purpose is stockpiling assorted goods.


Say, every 2 hours, your TL automatically jumps to the complex/factory you preset, it grabs the products, then moves on to the next factory/complex (if there are any more).

Eg: You've got an Elephant parked at your EQ dock. Every two hours (time is adjustable by player), it will automatically jump to your BHEPT forge and pull all the completed guns out of it (also a preset number by the player on how many to take). It then jumps to your 1GJ fab and does the same thing.

It's been a long day, I'm a bit strung out, this probably doesn't make any sense. It'd be sort of like an automated cargo pick up run, only with a TL 9to utilize the bigger cargo space).

Sounds like a good idea! :wink:

But i've not really got time to script it.

If you or anyone else would like to script it as an additional command that would work along with this script then i'd be happy to put a link to it on the 1st page along with the main script.

Fantastic script. This feature should have been part of the game to begin with, IMO.

I know you said you were putting anything to do with this on the backburner... just wondering if this could be changed so that bbs could also be included?

BBS in what way?

If you mean acessing the BBS in your capital ship without docking then I'm afraid its not possible.

Pity. But at any rate this has turned out to be easily the most handy script i have used to date

Nice work

Very newbish question, so I apologize in advance:

I had a Split Elephant prior to installing this script -- and had no problem adding the Bulk Transporter to it -- but, if I can't dock at the Goner Temple, how can I buy a Transporter device to render the upgrade useable?

Use a small ship that can dock with the goner temple.
Buy the transporter and undock.
Fly up to you elephant, target it and press i. If you are within 5km you will have the "Frieght transfer" option.
Select this and move the transporter over to the elephant. (yes it will teleport itself).

The easier way would be just to get the small ship to dock in the elephant and exchange it inside.

Thank you. I figured, since I could only carry one in my smaller ships and it always showed it as 'installed', transferring it was not an option.

I have the same problem as marioman but when using my ele.

Is this a bug or an "undocumented feature". (old programmers joke, from an old programmer) :P
